The ECM in this car has always had problems. It has required numerous updates from Toyota to fix check engine conditions. I tends to miss-fuel the engine, leading to premature failure of the catalytic converter, and excessive emissions. It also develops grounding problems, and transmission control problems that are destructive to the transmission. If this happens, the transmission is a $3000-$5000 repair. If the ECM is not replaced when this happens, it will continue to destroy transmissions until it is replaced. NOT SIMPLY REPROGRAMMED. My last repair for this was over $5000, for the transmission and a new computer.
